Round Shape Semi-Mount Diamond Engagement Ring

A round center setting brings perfect symmetry to this semi-mount engagement ring, the open seat sized for a stone of 4.50 Ctw to 5.50 Ctw. Through the shoulders and gallery, 20 round cut diamonds are prong set in even succession, each held clear on every side so brilliance enters the stone rather than reflecting from the mounting alone. Rose and white gold are worked together across the 14 karat construction, warmth set against clarity, with a rhodium finish applied to the white gold for a brighter contrast. A center this size asks for a mounting with enough presence to balance it and enough restraint to stay out of its way, which is precisely the proportion struck here. Everything waits on the stone. Built to be completed by the stone its wearer chooses, the ring is finished with a total weight of 1/8 Ctw.
